AFTER THE BATTLE.

The Aspect Of Troops at Parade and Dur
ing q Sanguinary Conflict.
The aspect of troops of all arms OF
she service is very different in battle
from the trim and neat parade appear
ance, but nowhere. is this difference so
marked as in the artillery. 1t was al
ways most interesting to me to watch
a battery going into action. The artil-
lerymen were very careful at all times
to be dressed strictly in accordance
with regulations, and when a battery
took position every cannoneer looked
as if he had just prepared himself for
inspection. Nothing could be neater
and more uniform than their appear
ance. But this did not last long. As
the fire began to get hot a jacket here
and there would be thrown off; next
the collars would go, and often the
shirts. The men were soon bathed in
perspiration, which they would hastily
brush off with their powder -blackened
hands, leaving great marks wherever
they touched themselves When the
men began TO fall and were carried to
the, rear by their comrades, blood stains
were added to the powder marks, and at
the close of the fight the 1artillerymen,
SO remarkable for their fine appearance
at its opening. presented thesmost hor-
rible spectacle that can be imagined.
But they soon removed all trace of the
fray, and by the next day were as clean
and neat as ever Gotonet u b. Con

A Pacific Group Which Contains Thou.
sands of Small Craters. ..sz.:fr
The Galapagos Islands are a group,
of small isles lying directly under the
equator, about six hundred miles from
the coast of Ecuador. They were dis
covered by the Spanish, who named the
group from the numerous land tortoises
found on them, called galapagos in
Spanish, but the single islands have
received English names. The group
consists of some fifteen islands of vari-
Gus sizes, and number Of small islets,
many of them mere rocks. All the
islands are of volcanic formations; In
deed the general shape of the islands
is that of volcano, with large central
dome, with wide and shallow center
on the top and cones of eruption on the
sides. There are about two thousand
of these small craters on the group, but
the greater number are extinct. The
lower parts of the islands are very
arid, but their SUBMITS, which are
generally covered with clouds, re.
ceive from them moisture enough to
sustain quite fourishing vegetation.
The climate of the islands is temperate,
which is remarkable considering their
position directly under the equator, and
is due to the cool antarctic current,
which, having been detected by the
coast of South America. flows around
these islands. There are two seasons,
the wet and the dry, the former extend.
ing from November to March. The
animals and vegetable products of these
islands are noteworthy, as among them
exist several species not to be found in
any other part of the globe. Thevege.
tation OF the lower parts of these island
hills is but scant, but near the tops
grasses and ferns abound, also large
cacti, and some cultivation has beer
made by the inhabitants. In the sev.
enteenth century the Galapagos Islands
were a great rendezvous of the buc
cancers that infested the South seas
but they had no permanent inhabitants
till 1882, when a party of exiles from
Ecuador was sent there. Two of ths
islands only have small settlements
containing perhaps two hundred in
habitants. The islands were once re
garded as of some Importance because
Of the supply Of turtles to be founi
there, but this supply has been so drawn
upon that it is now comparatively quit,
small. The other animals are prin
cipally lizards and other reptiles, M
mammalia whatever being indigenou,
to the islands. though cattle, pigs, ant
goats have been introduced from th,
main land. The Galapagos Islands be

A True Mother of Heroes.

A recent application of a West Vir-
ginian named Brown at the Pension
Office in Washington brought to light
the fact that one mother had given six
teen sons to the service of the Union
during the war. She had borne thirty
three children in all, of whom twenty
were boys, and of these only four did
not serve as soldiers in the Union army.
Two were killed and fourteen survive.
Each Of the latter is to-day in receipt Of
a pension from the Government for
disabilities received in the service, and
the death of her other soldier sons en-
titles the mother also to pension.
The case is an interesting one, not only
for the remarkable number of sons of
one mother who wore the blue, but as
illustrating how tagious was the
war spirit in some families along the
line of fire. = Chicago Mesos. = $ sAs

A Beautiful Flower Indigenous to the
sierra Nevada Mountains. f@gag
One of the most interesting products
of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and
one which never fails to excite the won :
der and admiration of the tourists, 8
whether from the East or the large
cities of the coast, is the beautiful snow
plant The scientific name for this =
flower is Sarcodes Sanguina, meaning o.
.'blooded flesh.'' June is its month Of
blossoming, and it can then be found
growing in secluded spots in the noun y
tains where the snow falls deepest in ~
winter and where the tall grass grows
thickly and casts an unbroken shade.
The plant itself is from four TO ten D
inches in height, and it is Of bright p.
scarlet color, including leaves and
flowers, although the stem. is pink
and white. The flowers are
attached close to the stem, and the
leaves curl upward and partially hide 81
the flowers from view, the whole being
in the form of a cone. The leaves have
a delicate, frost-like edge. which makes r
them extremely beautiful. Every 81
visitor to this vicinity always manages /.
to secure one of these curiosities to
show to friends below. How these q
plants grow is not known to botanists,
as they are neither seed nor bulb. They
are supposed to be parasitic, and can
not be prspagated. Localities where (
they are abundant one, season may not !

A beautiful Indian legend is con-
nected with the origin of this flower.
which is to, the effect that once upon a,
time lovely Indian maiden died OF
